Medical & Social Studies
There are hundreds and hundreds of official studies that have been done dating back to the 1970’s when the first IUDs were really beginning to take hold.
Nonetheless, they can be elusive and hard to find.
This page is devoted to making them accessible to anyone who is interested in reading the details.
The sections are divided into a variety of categories, some of which are further sorted by specific groupings by similar topic or symptom.
Clicking on either the red, yellow and green square links or the words in the tagcloud will take you to those studies in the main database.
Each study is also linked to long lists of references or related studies which can keep going and going.
To go even further, search the journal sites for keywords and discover even more!

Each of us experiences our particular mosaic of problems or issues; so each study is tagged for all topics that it discusses.
Studies with multiple tags will therefore appear repeatedly under different groupings and they are marked by the colors of a traffic light to indicate the severity or frequency of the problems discussed.
RED for “problematic”, YELLOW for “considered safe but problems mentioned”, GREEN for “no problems or positive results” and GREY for “inconclusive”.
Click the topic in the TAG-CLOUD to access all studies with that tag.
